A few days after Jesus's resurrection, 7 of his disciples have returned to Galilee. In this story, they go fishing, and catch nothing until Jesus appears to them, standing on the shore, and tells them to fish on the right side of the boat.

In this story, on the Monday after Palm Sunday, Jesus re-enters Jerusalem, goes to the temple, and drives out the moneychangers and people who were selling animals for sacrifices. He overturns tables, and takes a whip, and uses it to clean out the temple. So, what's this story about for us?
